[0. Introduction]

Companies today are trying hard to find a way to link their internal business processes with those of trading partners without plunging themselves into a maze of technical headaches and integration costs. No robust standards have yet emerged to support interoperable, cross-platform e-business. The typical e-business software products today cover topics as customer relationship management (CRM), electronic data interchange (EDI), enterprise application integration and enterprise resource planning (ERP), but the industry is nowhere near delivering anything resembling plug-and-play technical integration at the Business-to-Business (B2B) level.

Yet the basics of e-business are quite simple. They revolve around two familiar technologies that companies have known for years: EDI and workflow, where EDI stands for structured document routing between companies, and workflow for structured document routing within each organization. But, EDI and workflow have been separated by their divergent spheres of application.

The virtual business is constantly repositioning itself through dynamic alliances with an ever-changing set of trading partners. Therefore, an Internet-based trading community can only be reality where all participants share a common process model, an agreed-upon set of business rules that govern structured transactions. Just as important, all participants will have to implement a common B2B interoperability framework that allows them to enter easily into new trading relationships without the need for costly, time-consuming, (bilateral) or multilateral coordination of legal agreements and technical interfaces, as is the case with classic EDI.

Enterprise customers are scratching their heads trying to figure how to link their internal business processes with those of trading partners and not plunge themselves into a vortex of technical headaches and integration costs. No robust standards have yet emerged to support interoperable, cross-platform e-business. The industry is nowhere near delivering anything resembling plug-and-play technical integration at the B2B level.

E-business is also a conceptual mess. E-business software vendors are trying hard to help customers sort through all the integration issues, but vendors are still groping for a conceptual handle on it all. The typical e-business software vendor’s product roadmap invokes such familiar, but vague, topics as customer relationship management, electronic data interchange, enterprise application integration and enterprise resource planning (ERP).

Yet the basics of e-business are quite simple. They revolve around two familiar technologies that companies have implemented for years: EDI and workflow. [...]

EDI and workflow have been separated by their divergent spheres of application: EDI for structured document routing between companies; workflow for structured routing within each organization. [...] The virtual business is constantly repositioning itself through dynamic alliances with an ever-changing set of trading partners.

An Internet-based trading community can thrive only where all participants share a common process model — an agreed-upon set of business rules that govern structured transactions. Just as important, all participants will have to implement a common B2B interoperability framework that allows them to enter easily into new trading relationships without the need for costly, time-consuming, multilateral coordination of legal agreements and technical interfaces.

Traditionally, EDI has been effective for communicating transactions between companies, but only large enterprises performing a high volume of transactions have realized significant benefits using it. Now the XML standard promises an open standard for cost-effective B2B Internet commerce that will enable midsize and smaller companies to use EDI. TRADITIONALLY, electronic data interchange (EDI) has been effective for communicating transactions between companies, but only large enterprises performing a high volume of transactions have realized significant benefits using it. Now the Extensible Markup Language (XML) standard promises an open standard for secure, cost-effective business-to-business Internet commerce that will bring midsize and smaller companies into the fold.

The costs for participating in an electronic marketplace are lowered by emerging public and private standards for access and information exchange over the Internet, such as the HTTP protocol, technologies for secure information exchange like SSL and standards for electronic commerce. This trend is further amplified as the cost of participating in an electronic marketplace is lowered by emerging public and private standards for access and information exchange over the Internet, such as the hypertext markup language (HTTP) protocols, the secure sockets layer (SSL) architecture for secure information exchange, and CommerceNet’s (www.commerce.net) suite of standards for electronic commerce.

The basic model distinguishes on the vertical axis the three basic phases of a transaction: the information, agreement and settlement phase. On the horizontal axis we define four different views of Business Media: The community, process, transaction, and infrastructure view (see Figure 1). This basic setting is derived from the model described in [10].

[1.2. How do Electronic Markets affect traditional Market Structures?]

The Internet affects markets by changing the structure of product offerings, as for example: (i) Aggregation and disaggregation of information based product components. With electronic markets in place the role of intermediaries will be reduced or even eliminated, leading to disintermediation. It will become easier to match buyers and sellers, reducing the costs or market transactions. (ii) The costs of logistics are decreased when electronic marketplaces improve information sharing between buyers and sellers by promoting quick, just-in-time deliveries and reduce inventories. (iii) Increased personalization of product offerings.

[1.2.1 Information Phase']

[...] Lower search costs enable new markets to emerge, as for example creating a market for second hand cameras where otherwise the search costs would be too high to enable potential buyers and sellers to find each other on a conventional market (Bakos 1998).


Bakos, Y. 1998, "The Emerging Role of Electronic Marketplaces on the Internet," Communications of the ACM, vol. 41, pp. 35-46.

How the Internet Affects Markets

[...]

Two major emerging trends distinguish products in electronic marketplaces from their traditional counterparts: increased personalization and customization of product offerings, and the aggregation and disaggregation of information-based product components to match customer needs and to support new pricing strategies.

[page 39]

The lower search costs enable new markets to emerge. For example, low buyer search costs and global reach allowed Onsale.com (www.onsale.com) to create markets in goods like secondhand cameras; otherwise the search costs would be too high to enable potential buyers and sellers to find each other in a conventional market.

[page 40]

Electronic marketplaces improve information sharing between buyers and sellers, helping lower the cost of logistics and promoting quick, just-in-time deliveries and reduced inventories.

[page 42]

It has been argued that as friction-free electronic marketplaces lower the cost of market transactions, it will become easy to match directly buyers and sellers, and as a result, the role of intermediaries may be reduced or even eliminated leading to “disintermediation” (see [9, 10]).

The dynamics of friction free markets will change product-pricing strategies of companies that had previously depended on geography or customer ignorance. As geography becomes less Important, new source of product differentiation such as customized features, service or innovation will become more important (Bakos 1998).

[1.2.2 Agreement Phase

New types of price agreements are possible in electronic markets with auctions, or bulk buying, where customers can obtain higher bargaining power.]

The ability to customize products, combined with the ability of sellers to access substantial information about prospective buyers, such as demographics, preferences and past shopping behavior, is greatly improving seller’ ability to price discriminate. Price discrimination is a powerful tool that allows sellers to increase their profits, and reduces consumer surplus enjoyed by buyers. On the other hand, price discrimination enables sellers to service buyers that would otherwise be priced out of the market, an outcome that increases economic efficiency (Bakos 1998).

[1.2.3 Settlement Phase

With digital information goods such as news, music or software, the Internet dramatically reduces the marginal cost of distribution of these goods (Bakos 1998).]

Furthermore, electronic payment systems have the potential of lowering transaction costs of commercial exchanges, and micro payment systems will lower the costs of small transactions, enabling new pricing strategies such as metering of software use.

[page 41]

The dynamics of friction-free markets are not attractive for sellers that had previously depended on geography or customer ignorance to insulate them from the low-cost sellers in the market. As geography becomes less important, new sources of product differentiation, such as customized features or service or innovation, will become more important, at least for those sellers who don’t have the lowest cost of production.

Search engines use software robots to survey the Web and build their databases by retrieving and indexing HTML documents. When a query is entered at a search engine website, input is checked against the search engine's keyword indices. The best matches are then returned as hits. There are two primary methods of text searching: Keyword Searching and Concept-based Searching.

(1) Keyword Searching is the most common form of text search on the Web. Most search engines do their text query and retrieval using keywords or meta-tags. Essentially, this means that search engines pull out and index words that are believed to be significant. Words that are mentioned towards the top of a document and words that are repeated several times throughout the document are more likely to be deemed important. Most search engines index every word on every page. Others index only part of the document, such as the title, headings, subheadings, hyperlinks to other sites, and the first 20 lines of text. Some of the search engines discriminate upper case from lower case; others store all words without reference to capitalization. There are many problems with keyword searching, i.e.: Keyword searches cannot distinguish between words that are spelled the same way but mean something different. This often results in hits that are completely irrelevant to a query. Search engines also cannot return hits on keywords that mean the same, but are not actually entered in your query.

(2) Concept-based searching, unlike keyword search systems, tries to determine what a user means. In the best circumstances, a concept-based search returns hits on documents on a specific topic, even if the words in the document do not precisely match the words a user enters into the query. This is also known as clustering, which essentially means that words are examined in relation to other words found nearby. There are various methods of building clustering systems, some of which are highly complex, relying on sophisticated linguistic and artificial intelligence methods. Concept-based indexing is a good idea, but it is far from perfect. The results are best when one enters a lot of words, all of which roughly refer to the concept one seeking information about.

Unlike keyword search systems, concept-based search systems try to determine what you mean, not just what you say.

Electronic contracting may be viewed from the perspective of its openness to new contracting relationships: (i) open electronic contracting, and (ii) closed electronic contracting (Lee 1998b).

Classic EDI uses closed electronic contracting to advance contracting among parties that already have a trading relationship established. The focus of such applications is to make customer-vendor trading more efficient. The more challenging case for electronic contracting is open electronic contracting, which allows the formation of contracts among parties with no prior trading relationships. [Lee (1998b) points out that the type of electronic contracting (closed to open) is actually a continuum, allowing for intermediate cases.] A central issue for open electronic contracting is in representing and negotiating ways of doing business among parties. The difficulty with classic EDI is that it does not allow flexible adaptation and customization to meet the needs of a particular situation.

Another way to negotiate is via Email. Electronic negotiation through Email can be an information rich medium through which people can negotiate not just only price but also other aspects such as subscription terms. Electronic negotiation can be further automated with Intelligent Negotiation Support Systems, which understand Email messages and negotiate with the customer using case based reasoning. The main problem of email negotiation is the integrity of a contract due to the lack of trust between two relevant parties, and the lack of structure of the negotiation process (Lee 1998a). [page 20]

Electronic negotiation through e-mail proves that e-mail can be an information rich medium through which people can negotiate not just price but other complex items such as subscription terms. Electronic negotiation can be automated by implementing the Intelligent NSS which understands e-mail messages and negotiate with the customer using case-based reasoning.

But although there is an undoubtedly large savings potential, the use of EDI is by far not as widespread as one could expect. The main reason is that especially small and medium-sized enterprises try to avoid the considerable setup- and operating costs of traditional EDI solutions and that the standards are not flexible enough. In addition, the variety of different industryspecific and national EDI standards makes it difficult for businesses to decide which standard to use. Therefore, the use of EDI is mainly reserved for large companies, and, as empirical analysis shows, one of the main reasons for SMEs to introduce EDI is usually pressure from larger business partners (Weitzel et al. 1999).

For this reason, XML (Extensible Markup Language) was developed by the XML working group (known as the SGML1 Editorial Review Board) formed under the auspices of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1996. XML is a highly functional subset of SGML. The purpose of XML is to specify an SGML subset that works very well for delivering SGML information over the Web. [page 72]

XML is the Extensible Markup Language subset of ISO's Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) "SGML on the Web" working party during the latter half of 1996 and early 1997. The formal recommendation was submitted for approval by W3C members on December 8,1997.

XML's Inventors

XML is being designed by a Working Group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an organization whose charter is to establish specifications for Web technologies to ensure the highest possible degree of utility and interoperability. The XML Working Group consists of about fourteen companies and organizations with a strong interest in either providing or utilizing XML tools.

Its popularity is rapidly increasing among organizations with large amounts of document data to create, manage, and distribute as in the Defense, Aerospace, Semiconductor and Publishing industries. However, various barriers exist to delivering SGML over the Web.

[The Idea of XML is to support the vision of the Semantic Web,] to bring structure to the meaningful content of Web pages, creating an environment where software agents roaming from page to page can read ly carry out sophisticated tasks for users.

2. The Semantic Web

It has been discussed that most of the content on the Internet is designed for humans to read, not for computer programs to manipulate meaningfully. Computers can parse Web pages for layout and routine processing (headers, links, meta-tags), but in general computers have no reliable way to process the semantics. [...]

The challenge of the semantic web is to provide a language that expresses both data and rules for reasoning about the data and that allows rules from any existing knowledge-representation system to be exported onto the Web. [In the world of the semantic web a tourist can connect to the Internet via his handheld device and enter certain keywords when looking for a restaurant. A software agent searching the web will find the information of a list of restaurant [sic] containing] keywords such as <dinner>, <lunch>, <restaurant>, <Italian> (as might be encoded today) but also that the <opening-hours> at this restaurant are <weekdays> and then the script takes a <time range> in <yyyy-mm-dd-hour> format and returns <table available>, [thus automatically booking a table when the tourist enters <ok>.]

For the semantic web to function, computers must have access to structured collections of information and sets of inference rules that they can use to conduct automated reasoning. Knowledge representation, as this technology is often called, is clearly a good idea, and some very nice demonstrations exist, but it has not yet changed the world. It contains the seeds of important applications, but to realize its full potential it must be linked into a single global system. Traditional knowledge-representation systems typically have been centralized, requiring everyone to share exactly the same definition of common concepts, but central [control is stifling, and increasing the size and scope of such a system rapidly becomes unmanageable.]

[page 36]

Most of the Web's content today is designed for humans to read, not for computer programs to manipulate meaningfully. Computers can adeptly parse Web pages for layout and routine processing—here a header, there a link to another page—but in general, computers have no reliable way to process the semantics: this is the home page of the Hartman and Strauss Physio Clinic, this link goes to Dr. Hartman's curriculum vitae.

The Semantic Web will bring structure to the meaningful content of Web pages, creating an environment where software agents roaming from page to page can readily carry out sophisticated tasks for users. Such an agent coming to the clinic's Web page will know not just that the page has keywords such as "treatment, medicine, physical, therapy"

[page 37]

(as might be encoded today) but also that Dr. Hartman works at this clinic on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and that the script takes a date range in yyyy-mm-dd format and returns appointment times.

[...]

Knowledge Representation

FOR THE SEMANTIC WEB to function, computers must have access to structured collections of information and sets of inference rules that they can use to conduct automated reasoning. Artificial-intelligence researchers have studied such systems since long before the Web was developed. Knowledge representation, as this technology is often called, is currently in a state comparable to that of hypertext before the advent of the Web: it is clearly a good idea, and some very nice demonstrations exist, but it has not yet changed the world. It contains the seeds of important applications, but to realize its full potential it must be linked into a single global system.

Traditional knowledge-representation systems typically have been centralized, requiring everyone to share exactly the same definition of common concepts

[page 38]

such as "parent" or "vehicle." But central control is stifling, and increasing the size and scope of such a system rapidly becomes unmanageable.

[...]

The challenge of the Semantic Web, therefore, is to provide a language that expresses both data and rules for reasoning about the data and that allows rules from any existing knowledge-representation system to be exported onto the Web.

Three important technologies for developing the Semantic Web are already in place: XML, the Resource Description Framework (RDF)1 and Ontologies2. XML allows users to add arbitrary structure to their documents but says nothing about what the structures mean. [This is what RDF (an XML application itself) is used for, expressing meaning. The next challenge for the realization of the semantic web is that] two databases may use different identifiers for what is in fact the same concept, such as <⁠chair​>. A program that wants to compare or combine information across the two databases has to know whether these two terms are being used to mean the same thing, a chair to sit on or the chairman of a conference. Ideally, the program must have a way to discover such common meanings for whatever databases it encounters. A solution is provided by ontologies, the third basic component of the Semantic Web.

The real power of the Semantic Web will be realized when people create many programs that collect Web content from diverse sources, process the information and exchange the results with other programs. The effectiveness of such software agents will increase exponentially as more machine-readable Web content and automated services (including other agents) become available (Berners-Lee et. al. 2001).


1 RDF (W3C 1999b) encodes XML in sets of triples, each triple being rather like the subject, verb and object of an elementary sentence. These triples can be written using XML tags. In RDF, a document makes assertions that particular things (people, Web pages or whatever) have properties (such as "is a sister of," "is the author of") with certain values (another person, another Web page). This structure turns out to be a natural way to describe the vast majority of the data processed by machines. Subject and object are each identified by a Universal Resource Identifier (URI), just as used in a link on a Web page. The verbs are also identified by URIs, which enables anyone to define a new concept, a new verb, just by defining a URI for it somewhere on the Web. The triples of RDF form webs of information about related things. Because RDF uses URIs to encode this information in a document, the URIs ensure that concepts are not just words in a document but are tied to a unique definition that everyone can find on the Web.

2 Ontologies are a document or file that formally define the relations among terms. They can be compared to a mediator between the information seeker and the set of XML documents. The most typical kind of ontology for the Web has taxonomy and a set of inference rules.

[...]

Two important technologies for developing the Semantic Web are already in place: eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and the Resource Description Framework (RDF). XML lets everyone create their own tags—hidden labels such as <⁠zip code​> or <⁠alma mater​> that annotate Web pages or sections of text on a page. [...] In short, XML allows users to add arbitrary structure to their documents but says nothing about what the structures mean [see “XML and the Second-Generation Web,” by Jon Bosak and Tim Bray; SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, May 1999].

Meaning is expressed by RDF, which encodes it in sets of triples, each triple being rather like the subject, verb and object of an elementary sentence. These triples

[page 39]

can be written using XML tags. In RDF, a document makes assertions that particular things (people, Web pages or whatever) have properties (such as “is a sister of,” “is the author of”) with certain values (another person, another Web page). This structure turns out to be a natural way to describe the vast majority of the data processed by machines. Subject and object are each identified by a Universal Resource Identifier (URI), just as used in a link on a Web page. (URLs, Uniform Resource Locators, are the most common type of URI.) The verbs are also identified by URIs, which enables anyone to define a new concept, a new verb, just by defining a URI for it somewhere on the Web.

[...]

The triples of RDF form webs of information about related things. Because RDF uses URIs to encode this information in a document, the URIs ensure that concepts are not just words in a document but are tied to a unique definition that everyone can find on the Web.

[...]

OF COURSE, THIS IS NOT the end of the story, because two databases may use different identifiers for what is in fact the same concept, such as zip code. A program that wants to compare or combine information across the two databases has to know that these two terms are being used to mean the same thing. Ideally, the program must have a way to discover such common meanings for whatever databases it encounters.

A solution to this problem is provided by the third basic component of the Semantic Web, collections of information called ontologies. In philosophy, an ontology is a theory about the nature of existence, of what types of things exist; ontology as a discipline studies such theories. Artificial-intelligence and Web researchers have co-opted the term for their own jargon, and for them an ontology is a document or file that formally defines the relations among terms. The most typical kind of ontology for the Web has a taxonomy and a set of inference rules.

[page 42]

THE REAL POWER of the Semantic Web will be realized when people create many programs that collect Web content from diverse sources, process the information and exchange the results with other programs. The effectiveness of such software agents will increase exponentially as more machine-readable Web content and automated services (including other agents) become available.

The W3C Consortium envisions XML applications where a single XML document may contain markup vocabulary (elements and attributes) that are defined for and used by multiple software modules. One motivation for this is modularity; if such a markup vocabulary exists which is well-understood and for which there is useful software available, it is better to re-use this markup rather than re-invent it. But such documents, containing multiple markup vocabularies, pose problems of recognition and collision. Software modules need to be able to recognize the tags and attributes which they are designed to process, even in the face of collisions occurring when markup intended for some other software package uses the same element type or attribute name. XML Namespaces (W3C 1999a) avoid the collision of different semantics, when using different XML documents. XML namespaces provide a simple method for qualifying element and attribute names used in Extensible Markup Language documents by associating them with namespaces identified by URI (Uniform Resource Identifiers) references.

Style sheets work like templates where the style for a particular HTML element is defined once, and is then used over and over on any number of Web pages.

Before CSS, the only way to change the element was individually, each time it appeared. Style sheets let Webdesigners quickly create more consistent pages, and more consistent sites.

[...] XSL adds provisions for formatting of elements based on their position in the document, handling of generated text, and the definition of formatting macros. The new style language complements XML. It also introduces an extensible set of formatting objects and is the first Web style sheet language that accommodates languages that flow in different directions than right to left.

XSL lacks many features one might want to see in a print style sheet (e.g. multiple columns, widow & orphan control, etc.), but its rule-based approach to formatting on the fly is an exciting new development in Web publishing. It will enable an XSLcapable browser to do simple things like rearranging elements and reformatting them accordingly, something that previously could happen only on the server. Furthermore it will bring new capabilities, such as adjusting box rules to the dimensions of the type composed within the box, that are not possible in HTML today. Although it goes beyond CSS, XSL is being developed so that its style sheets can be easily translated to CSS for HTML documents.

[2.1.4 XML Navigation]

XML Linking, formerly known as XLink and as XLL (the eXtensible Linking Language), is a work in progress of the Web Consortium. It is closely related to the XML Recommendation, adding functionality for high-function hypertext and hypermedia. It is now an independent Working Group, but its projects were started under the main XML Working Group, and progressed to solid Working Drafts there before being handed off to the new XML Linking Working Group.

The work of this working group has two parts: XLink provides advanced linking capabilities such as multidirectional and external linking, while the separate XPointer specifications provide a convenient and easily-understood way of describing locations in XML documents. Either can be used without the other, but they are most valuable in combination, and of course in combination with XML itself.

XLink (W3C 2001d) adds many kinds of advanced hypertext linking functionality to the Web (and other environments where it may be used). XLink provides the possibility of bi-directional links or links that lead to multiple destinations. Bidirectional links can traverse in either direction regardless of which way you went originally.

XPointer (W3C 2001c) provides better location specifications. XPointers are based on TEI extended pointer, [sic] a proven and multiple-implemented technology for the same purpose, developed by the Text Encoding Initiative.

Furthermore, XPointer Links [sic] a point to specific places inside of documents, even when the author of those documents has not already provide [sic] an ID at just the right place. Also Fine-grained addressing to elements, other information objects, point and strings selections, and spans (also called ranges) inside documents is made possible. XPointer also provides a clear syntax for talking about locations and relationships in hierarchies, such as the structure of XML documents, so that locations are human-readable and writeable.

W3C (eds) 2001c, XML Pointer Language (XPointer) Version 1.0. W3C Last Call Working Draft 8 January 2001. [Online], Available: http://www.w3.org/TR/xptr
Accessed: March 03 2001.

XPointer provides better location specifications. It doesn't "return" things; it is simply an abstract language that specifies locations; obviously XLink can use it as part of specifying where its link-ends reside. Some added capabilities of XPointer (beyond HTML's rudimenary use of fragment identifiers on the end of URLs) include:
  • Links that point to specific places inside of documents, even when the author of those documents didn't already provide an ID at just the right place.
  • Fine-grained addressing to elements, other information objects, point and strings selections, and spans (also called ranges) inside documents.
  • A clear syntax for talking about locations and relationships in hierarchies (such as the structure of XML documents), so that locations are human-readable and writable, rather than mere hash.

XPointers are largely based on TEI extended pointers, a proven and multiply-implemented technology for the same purpose, developed by the Text Encoding Initiative.

First, information technology departments must decide on standards: standards for creating files, standards for delivering information, and standards for storing, converting, and searching for information on the company’s servers. HTML offers no standards. Instead, standards must be set by the developers themselves. HTML requires no conformity, whereas XML requires conformity for documents to be at the least well-formed and at the most valid. HTML browsers are notoriously forgiving, which means document structures usually correspond to what the designer wants, not what the corporation needs.

With HTML, one actually has to create pieces of data, parse them down into workable size, and then think ahead to create hyperlinks that will allow users to navigate through the site to the information they need. XML on the other hand does this automatically. Its tree structure, almost like a table of contents, makes it easier for the user to select the data; it also makes it easier for computers to retrieve information.

PDF versus XML

PDF is an electronic file format which is entirely platform independent and which can be passed around from computer to computer.

PDF is basically a display technology. It deals little with document format or structure.

It furthermore allows the user to specify how the document is to be presented, whereas the layout and format of PDF documents is hard coded in the page. (Pitts-Moultis and Kirk, 1999: 99).

XML, on the other hand, does all this automatically.

The next section will analyze the development of XML applications for e-commerce, thus excluding applications designed for strictly enhancing XML, such as XSL even though they too may have use in business. The purpose of the next section is to show the extent of XML's penetration into the world of business data exchange, which covers transactions between businesses and also with consumers, including scientific and technical.

[...]

To help understand the various ways in which XML for business data exchange has grown, applications can be broken down into three major categories (See Appendix 3 for more detailed information on XML business applications):

(i) XML Application Functions set the guidelines for specific business operations that cut across industry boundaries.

(ii) Vertical XML Applications are one-industry applications, defining messages for exchanges within a specific industry.

The purpose of this survey is to show the extent of XML's penetration into the world of business data exchange, which covers transactions between businesses and also with consumers. As a result, the survey excludes XML vocabularies for enhancing XML, such as XML Schema, XPath, or XLink, even though they may have business implications. It also excludes applications designed for strictly publishing purposes, such as XHTML, even though they too may have use in business. But the survey tries to cover as many potential business data exchanges as possible, and thus includes scientific, technical, and even religious vocabularies.

To help understand the various ways in which XML for business data exchange has grown, the survey breaks down the applications into three major categories:

Frameworks: specifications for structuring XML messages between parties for exchanges both within and among industries

Functions: guidelines for specific business operations that cut across industry boundaries

Verticals: messages for exchanges within a specific industry.

In February 2000, XML.com published a survey that found 124 different XML business applications at various registries and reference sources. By August 2000, the number of XML business vocabularies listed with these sources appears to have doubled to over 250, putting even more pressure on standards bodies to develop a way for these applications to interact (Kotok 2000).

As in the first survey, a majority of the vocabularies (146 of the 251) represent one-industry applications, called verticals. Some 95 other entries express business functions, defined as common operations that apply to a number of industries. The fewest number of vocabularies are frameworks that offer interoperability among the business languages, but frameworks provide the most functionality and have received the most attention.

But, in spite of the positive features and prospects of XML, two things must be kept in mind. [It is not yet clear when and how and which XML business vocabularies will penetrate e-commerce applications.] Furthermore, XML is solely a description language to specify the structure of documents and thus their syntactic dimension. Document structure can represent some semantic properties but it is not clear how this can be deployed outside of special purpose applications. DTD and document structure are not enough to give XML a sound semantics. Therefore it will be necessary to appoint true semantics to XML documents with RDF and ontologies. In spite of these positive features and prospects of XML it must be clearly stated that XML is solely a description language to specify the structure of documents and thus their syntactic dimension. The document structure can represent some semantic properties but it is not clear how this can be deployed outside of special purpose applications. We will define in this paper how to add true semantics to XML documents by relating the document structure to an ontology.

Of course concepts and relationships have to be expressed and stored in linear form in documents; but this is pure representation, i.e. DTDs and the document structure are not enough to give XML a sound semantics.

Companies today have put great effort into constructing computer applications to help them in their business processes. While this has resulted in significant improvements in efficiency, that efficiency has not been extended to external processes. External processes are processes that involve interchange between applications or business processes at different companies.

EDI standards in wide use are the American ANSI ASC-X12 and the international UN/EDIFACT. However, these standards predate Internet e-commerce and reflect a flat-file-based, least-common-denominator approach to computer data interchange. With the explosive growth of Internet, such interchange standards are considered by many to be inflexible and inadequate. New methods of exchanging structured data based on Internet technologies are now dominant.

Traditional EDI has much to offer semantically and structurally to Internet B2B, but its syntax is definitely antiquated. XML/EDI working groups are working on helping to ensure that valuable domain knowledge codified in EDI standards that is, the semantics and structure of business documents is not lost in the rush to deploy newer technologies like XML. However, XML-based approaches have the potential to go beyond the mere reproduction of EDI transactions in XML format. XML brings the potential for document processing and validation. Of course, there are still plenty of legacy systems that need to be fed X12 or EDIFACT documents, so developers need to integrate Internet messaging and data transfer mechanisms with translators that can talk to the back-end legacy systems.

The data for such systems will typically be entered manually before processing and subsequently written to such output documents as invoices, orders, acknowledgements, delivery notes, etc., which are then typically distributes via the postal services. With EDI, this data is extracted in an electronic form, structured according to the appropriate in-house file format. This is subsequently converted to an agreed document format standard and is the in a suitable form for transfer via some form of EDI network function, to the relevant trading partner.

This is where a standard like EDI makes sense. Standards can be either (i) proprietary or (ii) common (open). Proprietary EDI standards are limited to the use of one company and it's trading partners. These are systems in which the organizations have developed a standard format used in communication only with that organization's trading partners on a closed system. While these systems are often referred to as EDI, they do not use common EDI standards. Common EDI standards are guidelines adopted by industry-wide or cross-industry users (Emmelhainz 1990).

EDI software translates information from unstructured, company specific format to the structured EDI format and then communicates the EDI message. EDI software also performs this activity in reverse (receives the message and translates from standard format to company specific format). EDI software can be either developed in-house or it can be purchased from a number of commercial software vendors.

[3.1.4 EDI Networks]

Classic EDI documents are transmitted electronically through phone or data lines from one computer to the other. [...]

Direct Network: Computers of trading partners are linked directly, usually through dial up modems or leased lines. When one of the partners wants to transmit documents to the other, the sender simply dials up the receiving party and transmits the document.

Value Added Networks, also known as third party networks or indirect networks, serve as an intermediary between trading partners. The VAN in an EDI world is similar to the post office in the paper world. [...] A VAN maintains a mailbox for both the sender and the receiver. In this way, if a company has a large number of electronic purchase orders to send to different sellers, the company would transmit all of the purchase orders to the VAN in a single connect or call.

VANs comprise two components, a network and an application. [...] The application provides added value to data network and allows users to purchase facilities as electronic mail, on-line database access, and EDI. (Emmelhainz 1990: 17).

VANs offer different Services: (i) Network Services: Connects Network Services and has high level of security and systems resilience. (ii) Post/ Mailbox Services: Often referred to having 'clearing house' or 'store and forward' functions. (iii) Enabling Software Services: VAN suppliers will often also offer software, both to make connection to the network and to convert in-house document standards to and from an adopted trade standard.

VANs comprise two components:

- a network;
- an application.

The application provides added value to data networks and allows users to purchase facilities such as electronic mail, on-line database access, and EDI.

[page 61]

The following services are typical of those provided by VAN suppliers:

Network Service

A network service connects trading partners and has high levels of security and systems resilience, and may provide multiple routing paths and physical links.

Postbox/Mailbox Service

This service is often referred to as the central ‘clearing house’ or ‘store-and-forward’ function of the third-party VAN network.

[...]

The VAN supplier will often also offer software, both to make connection to the network and to convert in-house document standards to and from an adopted trade standard.

3.1.5 Cost of setting up and [sic] EDI network

Because of the organizational gap, and EDI network cannot start right away, but requires an initiative to be launched to close the gap. The first contributors to the collective action, i.e. the initiators of an EDI network, do not only have to plan, design, and implement the required techno-organizational infrastructure and the related services, but they also have to bear the associated costs.

[There are different cost categories such as: (1) Coordination costs of a new network, (2) Implementation costs of a new network, (3) Individual expenses, and (4) Opportunity costs (Ritz 1995: 51-52).]

The set-up process of a coordination and a subsequent implementation stage. During the coordination stage, the network's future characteristics are determined, and plans to implement the specified conception are drawn up.

The subsequent implementation of the network infrastructure yields even higher costs for the organizations involved in the collective action at that stage. Infrastructure investments foremost include the direct capital cost of acquiring the systems hard- and software, the highering of staff to operate and market it, the provision of facilities to house the system, etc. Moreover, the cost of establishing an intermediary organization may also be subsumed under this heading. Depending on the scope of this project and the situation at the outset in terms of pre-existing technical infrastructure and standards, the implementation of the network infrastructure may entail altogether substantial costs to the initiators. Some of these investments may actually represent sunk costs that display asset-specificity. [...]

Beside the cost of implementing of the communication infrastructure, initial contributors to the collective action will have to carry the individual expenses of joining the network as participants. Usually, an organization that decides to participate in an EDI network needs to invest in its internal hard- and software, e.g. by purchasing converter software and by adapting business applications to the [communication requirements of the clearing center.]

2.3.2 The cost of setting up an EDI network

It has been shown earlier17 that because of the organizational gap, an EDI network cannot start right away, but requires an initiative to be launched to close that gap. The first contributors to the collective action, i.e. the initiators of an EDI network, do not only have to plan, design, and implement the required techno-organizational infrastructure and the related services, but they also have to bear the associated costs.

Cost categories

As mentioned earlier, the set-up process of an EDI network encompasses a coordination and a subsequent implementation stage. During the coordination stage, the network's future characteristics are determined, and plans to implement the specified

conception are drawn up. [...]

The subsequent implementation of the network infrastructure yields even higher costs for the organizations involved in the collective action at that stage. Infrastructure investments foremost include the direct capital cost of acquiring the system's hard- and software, the hiring of staff to operate and market it, the provision of facilities to house the system, etc. Moreover, the cost of establishing an intermediary organization may also be subsumed under this heading. Depending on the scope of the project and the situation at the outset in terms of pre-existing technical infrastructures and standards, the implementation of the network infrastructure may entail altogether substantial costs to the initiators.18 Some of these investments may actually represent sunk costs19 that display asset-specificity, i.e. "nontrivial investments in transaction-specific assets." (Williamson 1985, pp. 30).

Besides the costs related to the implementation of the common infrastructure, initial contributors to the collective action additionally have to carry the individual expenses of joining the network as participants, if applicable.20 Usually, an organiza-


18The direct capital cost for developing the technical infrastructure of Singapore's TradeNet, for instance, amounted to more than $20 million. This sum does not include the investment made by the involved governmental bodies in conceiving the project, managing the development, or establishing Singapore Network Services (SNS) as intermediary organization (King and Konsynski 1990).

19For a discussion of sunk cost from an accountancy perspective, see e.g. Luther (1992). Rosenbaum (1992) provides an economic analysis of entry, barriers, exit, and sunk costs.

20This applies primarily to community members as initiators. A third-party service provider leading an EDI initiative, on the other hand, will obviously not join the network as a participant. Its role in the diffusion stage will thus be limited to acting as an intermediary.

At an organization level, internal business processes may have to be re-shaped in order to be able to interface with trading partners and to reap the full benefits from electronic trading. [Also, retraining of employees are affected by innovations. (Ritz 1995: 52-53).]

Last but not least, opportunity costs also have to be mentioned in this context. Those arise from the uncertainties associated with the collective action of establishing and EDI network. Should EDI initiative fail for the lack of attracting sufficient participants, investments in the joint infrastructure will be al least partly be sunk costs. Furthermore the giving up of established forms of trade data exchange when joining an EDI network also yields opportunity costs from the perspective of an individual participant (Ritz 1995: 53).

Risk of Sunk Costs: A very large proportion of the investments in the joint infrastructure outlined above have to be made up-front. Coordination costs arising during the process of determining the network's future characteristics and planning it's implementation. Hard- and software systems have to be acquired and installed before trial operations may begin. Intermediary organizations need to be founded and incorporated before the diffusion process starts. Once the network infrastructure is established, the marginal cost of adding trading partners is comparably low from an initiator's perspective. The reason is that the infrastructure represents fixed costs. Increasing trading volume augments total costs only slightly. As a consequence, unit cost per transaction falls, leading to significant cost based economics of scale. The danger of competing EDI initiatives superseding a focal network is very high at that early stage, and so are the related opportunity costs. The reason is the inherent uncertainty of whether a sufficiently large number of network participants will be attracted to guarantee the success of the collective action. As the number of network participants increases, i.e. as the point of critical mass is being approached, the risk of failure decreases. This leads to a stabilization of expectations among community members, which in turn attracts additional participants and enables the self-sustained growth of an EDI network. For the same set of reasons, the opportunity cost of an individual organization, that has to give up and established platform of trading partner communication, are high at that early stage (Ritz 1995:53-54).

Last but not least, opportunity costs also have to be mentioned in this context. Those arise from the uncertainties associated with the collective action of establishing an EDI network. Should an EDI initiative fail for the lack of attracting sufficient participants, either because the design was not accepted by community members, or because it was superseded by a rivalling solution, investments in the joint infrastructure will at least partly be in vain. Furthermore, the giving up of established forms of trade data exchange when joining an EDI network also yields opportunity costs from the perspective of an individual participant (Monse and Reimers 1993).

Arising costs in a temporal perspective

A very large proportion of the investments in the joint infrastructure outlined above have to be made up-front. Coordination costs arise during the process of determining the network's future characteristics and planning its implementation; hard- and software systems have to be acquired and installed before trial operations may begin; intermediary organizations need to be founded and incorporated before the diffusion process starts, etc. Once the network infrastructure is established, however, the marginal cost of adding trading partners is comparably low from an initiator's perspective. The reason is that the infrastructure represents fixed costs. Increasing transaction volume augments total costs only slightly. As a consequence, unit cost per transaction falls, leading to significant cost-based economies of scale (see also Sheldon 1993).

EDI investment projects used to be justified on the basis of savings on postal charges and processing charges alone, and figures were calculated from the amount saved on every order raised or invoice processed. But time and EDI have moved on. There is a greater realization that EDI is just an enabler, and the mayor benefits that derive from the use of today's computer and telecommunications revolution will be in the change in business relationships and practices that use of timely and accurate information can bring (Parfett 1992: 2).

Parfett (1992: 12-13) concludes from a survey that the most important arguments for implementing EDI are:

- Strategic benefits - To increase the competitive edge (68%): Of crucial, longterm significance to the functioning of the organization. These benefits will affect the very business the company is undertaking, i.e. its central operating function.

- Operational benefits - To reduce costs (56%): Of mayor importance to daily operations of the company, usually only impacting on certain department within the organization.

Benefits from future opportunities - To provide new business opportunities (45%): EDI is not necessarily seen to be crucial to the current operations of the company, but as offering potential future benefits. The list of opportunity benefits includes such factors as enhanced image and competitive edge, which although perceived as beneficial, are difficult to quantify.

The savings come from improvements in a number of areas (O'Callaghan and Turner 1995: 9-11; Seffinga 1996: 15; Parfett 1992:16):

Better use of personnel through reduction in document handling tasks. The savings in document handling are dependant upon how the document was processed prior to EDI.

[...]

Reduction in other costs such as exception handling and premium freights due to a mistake in a purchase order. [...]

Cheaper and more efficient information processing reduces the transaction costs of writing contracts, and monitoring and ensuring secure commitments, thus making external provision of production more attractive. Furthermore an EDI system may reduce the amount of management influence as the routine nature of EDI transactions short circuits many internal operations and thus reduces the necessity for management intervention.

Existing solutions generally offer an HTML input mask, which allows the manual input of structured data, similar to the HTML frontend to a shopping system. Thus, there is no machine-to-machine connection and no way the client, usually the smaller partner, can import the EDI data into his inhouse systems.

[...] The obvious advantage of using the Web as a medium for EDI communication is that the only (client side) prerequisite is an Internet connection and a Web browser.

More important, WebEDI is mostly no more than an HTML-front-end to a shopping system. A user manually enters data into a form using a webbrowser as communication interface. Thus, there is no machine-to-machine connection and no way the client, i. e. the small partner, can import the EDI data into his inhouse systems.

One pioneer of Web/EDI is Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., which has extended its private EDI network to its entire trading community using an Internet-based system. Wal-Mart has also given the required client software to several thousand smaller suppliers, who can now receive purchase orders via the Internet and send back invoices simply by completing a Web-based form. The invoices are filtered through a server at Wal-Mart headquarters and integrated into the company's existing EDI system. Like Wal-Mart, many of the Fortune 1000 companies that have made large investments in EDI are unlikely to abandon it anytime soon. Instead, they will probably use Internet-based EDI to augment their existing infrastructure and allow smaller companies to join the trading community and share in its benefits.

Web/EDI proves to be a good idea for large companies seeking ways of having their small customers send their data in a standardized format without forcing them to invest large amounts of money (Weitzel et al. 1999b). But in order to procure the exchange of information throughout the entire supply chain, the solutions need to be more flexible. While Web/EDI is a means of integrating small partners into existing sub-networks, the emergence of new electronic marketplaces required the transformation of "supply chains" into "supply Webs".

[...] As opposed to traditional EDI, where communication flows over private Value Added Networks, the Internet is a public network and there are serious security issues to be considered. Although more than 50% of the Fortune1000 enterprises in both, Germany and the U.S. plan to use Web/EDI in the future, it is so far only implemented by 7.4% in Germany and 16.9% in the U.S (Westarp et al.1999).

Questionable security is, by far, the greatest stumbling block to widespread use of the Internet for EDI. Given these considerations, compared to traditional EDI a state of the art Web/EDI solution must meet the following five requirements: (a) lower setup costs and time, (b) reduced operating costs, (c) security, (d) easy integration in in-house systems especially of the smaller partners (clients), and (e) flexibility and extensibility (Weitzel and Buxmann 1999).

In this context, form-based EDI proves to be a good idea for large companies seeking ways of having their small customers send their data in a standardized format without forcing them to invest large amounts of money [8]. But in order to procure the exchange of information throughout the entire supply chain, the solutions need to be more flexible. While form-based EDI is a means of integrating small partners into existing sub-networks, the emergence of new electronic marketplaces, or as CommerceOne calls it the transformation of “supply chains” into “supply Webs” [9], requires a greater flexibility, e. g. enabling an easy alteration of transaction content and partners as well as fast and easy integration into in-house systems. Additionally, there are serious security issues to be considered. Although more than 50% of the Fortune1000 enterprises in both, Germany and the U.S. plan to use WebEDI in the future, it is so far only implemented by 7.4% in Germany and 16.9% in the U.S [10]. Questionable security is, by far, the greatest stumbling block to widespread use of the Internet for EDI.

Given these considerations, compared to traditional EDI a state of the art WebEDI solution must meet the following five requirements:

Þ lower setup costs and time,
Þ reduced operating costs,

Þ easy integration in in-house systems especially of the smaller partners (‘clients’) and

- Adoption and deployment of a distributed Directory Service capability, so that one can readily contact electronically any other organization in the world.

- Explicit commitment by participating organizations to cooperatively route traffic, work to resolve addresses, and meet required standards.

The Star-model shown is the classic EDI model, where a major business partner or organization sets the standards for its trading partners. The Ad-hoc-model is the new net-based model. Smaller trading partners setup their own ad hoc interactions, these in time may evolve into more formal methods, or they may not.

The Hybrid-model is a combination of the first two. Here a "Star" model is extended by trading partners, by creating new versions of frameworks, and by linking in their own ad hoc ones. The Web-model is a document-centric model, where content is the most important information being exchanged. Content can either arrive driven by pre-set rules, or be requested, or be broadcast. The classic example for this is an electronic catalog, and the associated Request for Quotations (RFQ) dialogs.

4.1.3 XML/EDI as a Framework

XML/EDI provides for the infrastructure of a wide variety of e-commerce systems, from searchable on-line catalogs to robust machine-to-machine transaction subsystems. The XML/EDI initiative is to provide open solutions for implementing e-business systems today, as there is more than just one standard solution for all of the e-business scenarios. Each scenario has its own requirements and goals. Thus a framework and not an application or module is required. The goal of the framework is to provide formal interfaces for commercial e-commerce components to interoperate. For XML/EDI to be successful these interfaces will be open and yet standardized. The business model is either of ad hoc interactions between [small groups, or agreed upon national or international frameworks, such as those by trade associations or industry bodies (Peat and Webber, 1999).]

XML/EDI provides for the infrastructure of a wide variety of EC systems; from searchable on-line catalogs to robust machine-to-machine transaction subsystems. The XML/EDI initiative is to provide open solutions for implementing E-business systems today. The operative word here is "solutions". There isn't just one solution for all of the E-business scenarios. Each scenario has its own requirements and goals. This is why we need a framework and not an application or module.

The goal of the framework is to provide formal interfaces for commercial EC components to interoperate. For XML/EDI to be successful these interfaces will be open and yet standardized.

Figure 10 depicts the technical layers that a base XML/EDI system can be built on. Not all layers are required to achieve results with XML/EDI. The framework builds upon and enhances the XML and EDI standards and defines the blueprint of ecommerce component interaction. For example, catalog vendors may only want to implement the XML tagging. The tags are defined in standard repositories. The various layers support different targeted e-commerce systems. Overall each successive layer provides increasingly more sophisticated capabilities so as to handle more demanding needs (Peat and Webber, 1999).

The framework is not an all-or-nothing implementation. Each e-commerce component is designed to be able to be used independently, interfacing with each other as defined by XML/EDI standards. DTDs formally define the structure of EDI messages without having to use it to validate well-formed XML documents. EDIFACT/X12 messages can simply be placed in an XML shell element or the message (or parts of it) can be coded in XML. Messages can be formally validated, or simply checked to be well-formed. Messages can be linked to data stored elsewhere, or completely stored internally. Documents can be linked to rule-templates, or be in-built (or no) rules for processing the received data. There is a variety of possibilities (options) as how to integrate EDI with XML. End Users interact with these technical layers through highly visual desktop tools. Developers [use e-commerce components to build these tools.]

Figure 3 - XML/EDI Layered Architecture

Figure 3 depicts the technical layers that a base XML/EDI system can be built. Not all layers are required to achieve results with XML/EDI. The framework builds upon and enhances the XML and EDI standards and defines the blueprint of EC component interaction. For example, catalog vendors may only want to implement the XML tagging. The tags are defined in "standard" repositories. The various layers support different targeted EC systems. Overall each successive layer provides increasingly more sophisticated capabilities so as to handle more demanding needs.

The framework is not a "all-or-nothing" nothing implementation. Each EC component is designed to be able to be used independently -- interfacing with each other as defined by XML/EDI standards. You can create a DTD for formally define the strucuture of EDI messages without having to use it to validate well-formed XML documents. You can simply place EDIFACT/X12 messages in an XML shell element or you can code the message, or parts of it, in XML. You can chose to formally validate messages, or simply check that they are well-formed XML. You can link your messages to data stored elsewhere, or have it all stored intermally. You can link your documents to rule-templates, or have in-built (or no) rules for processing the data you receive. Its up to you how you mix and match the options.

End Users interact with these technical layers through highly visual desktop tools. Developers use EC components to build these tools.

The XML/EDI Group has formed a working group in 1998 to organize the development of a global repository. The goal of the XML/EDI repository working group, was to develop a repository for business transactions based on the Extensible Markup Language. The repository would store the tag sets, document type definitions, Extensible Stylesheet language templates, and other schema needed for effective business-to-business communication (XML/EDI Repository Group 1999a). Posting DTDs online and sharing them among partners is not a new concept, but previously it had only existed among small groups. By opening up the repository, it will serve as a global library for companies to share their preferred formats. The repositories are not limited to text, however. Anything that can be sent via MIME can be housed in the repository, which opens it up to scripts, Java applets, and various forms and templates.

XML allows individuals and organizations to create tag sets that describe more than just how to display their information. But there still is an interoperability problem. If a university and a furniture store both use the tag < Chair >;, do they mean the same or different things? What if another furniture store uses the tag < Seat >? XML DTDs can be used to ensure that a set of documents use the same set of tags, but it would be impossible to create a single DTD that describes everything.

As discussed above, history shows that in the past traditional EDI failed to create a broad based acceptance for a number of reasons. The most important one being that setting up traditional EDI is an expensive and time consuming manual process as trading partners attempt to synchronize their internal systems with the external systems of their partners. Worse, some large companies, such as the mayor [sic] manufacturers have potentially three hundred thousand trading partners in the USA alone (Webber 1998a: 38).

[4.2.1 Impact of XML on EDI]

What XML provides is primarily (a) Self-explaining syntax, (b) Modularity, (c) Extensibility, (d) Presentation, and (e) Transformation.

Self-explaining syntax: Since the elements in XML are discoverable using document type definitions, the elements used to describe a supplier's product, its pricing, or other attributes can be gleaned without first having to agree upon a single format beforehand. Previous visions of EDI could not use this kind of ad hoc partnership approach. At best, an industry might define a set of EDI templates or forms for specific transaction types. Generally, these would be established by the largest company in a supply chain as a de facto set of transaction standards and data types.

Modularity: The XML/EDI messages can be constructed using a combination of several standardized modules. It is possible to provide a number of standardized and publicly accepted building blocks that can be used to construct more complex EDI messages. This is quite different from the current implementations where all the functionally has to be included in the messages from the beginning, resulting in that people are adding all kinds of messages in the standards because they may be used in the future.

Extensibility: Since the EDI standard using XML is no longer under the eye of standardization committees, such as UN/EDIFACT and ANSI X12, it is much easier to add new support and functionality in the EDI messages.

Presentation: The XML/EDI messages can be presented directly to the user using the XSL specification (when and if such support becomes available in the browsers).

Transformation: The XML/EDI messages can be processed transformed and analyzed using the proposed XML/QL standardization.

[With its flat-rate fee structure, for instance, the Internet is substantially cheaper than the] value-added networks (VANs) traditionally used for EDI, which charge by the byte for each EDI message. Using traditional EDI, it costs about $2.50 to process a purchase order, compared to around $50 to process a paper-based version, according to Forrester Research, Cambridge, Mass. Internet-based EDI can lower the transaction cost still further, to less than $1.25 (Edwards 1999).

The Internet also makes EDI accessible to the companies previously shut out by the high start-up fees and complexity of implementing and maintaining the required systems. In large companies, these costs can be justified by the increase in efficiency and the additional revenues generated from trading partners. For smaller companies, though, the EDI costs may be prohibitive, so millions of firms are denied these revenue opportunities. With a Web-based EDI service, companies can now be part of the action for less than $1,000 a year, compared to the estimated cost of $50,000 to join a traditional EDI network.

[4.2.3 Hub and Spoke Relationship Improvement]

For the moment, though, rather than eliminating EDI, organizations are combining it with Internet transaction systems to make the service faster and more comprehensive, and to add new partner, supplier, and customer connections, especially with smaller firms. This is a win-win development, since the more partners and suppliers a company connects, the larger the savings and production efficiencies and, often, the greater the revenues.

Changes are also occurring in the traditional hub-spoke EDI business model, where the hub is the organization that initiates the transaction and the spoke the trading partner supplying products and services to the hub. Increasingly, organizations are adopting a dual-capacity role as both hubs and partners, creating an extended EDI model. The Internet takes this evolution a step further by adding extranets with the potential for connecting many more partners, suppliers, distributors, and customers.

According to market researcher International Data Corp. (IDC), dual-capacity hubpartners will account for the strongest growth in EDI transactions over the next few years, jumping from one-quarter of EDI service revenues in 1998 to two-thirds by 2003. IDC also predicts that the Internet will handle 41% of EDI transactions by 2003, up from 6% in 1998. It still sees a rosy future for EDI, projecting an 18.6% [compound annual growth rate in EDI service revenues to reach $2.3 billion by 2003, with the Internet portion accounting for 33% of the revenues (Edwards 1999).]

As XML standardization efforts have not really caught on yet, organizations find it easier to create custom tags and just map data to achieve interoperability. Many corporations today are building effective XML utilities without waiting for standardization. Experts point out that this is not much of a problem after all, as it is easy to map one application's tag set to another if and when tagging standards change. XML is flexible enough, as long a high-level set of rules is followed. Companies are not looking for external definitions of XML tags, they are rather building their own sets of tags for internal use and translating them to communicate with external partners.

XML has barely penetrated the vast established base of Web browsers and other HTML tools, which means XML data may not display properly in all applications. Older browsers do not natively render XML. Companies still have to convert XML to HTML on the fly. That is one feature to look for in an XML application server.

[4.4. XML/EDI Example]

EDI is quite different from sending electronic mail messages or sharing files through a network, a modem, or a bulletin board. The straight transfer of computer files requires that the computer applications of both the sender and receiver (referred to as "trading partners") agree upon the format of the document. The sender must use an application that creates a file format identical to the receiver’s computer application.

The idea of XML repositories is to provide a means for industries to store the document-type definitions, that identify the data elements and their relationships exchanged among parties doing business electronically, on the Internet. Repositories contain logic components, such as Java applets, template scripts, forms and object definitions needed to process message components. With common registration procedures for these components, repositories will act as global libraries, and enable industry groups, government agencies, and businesses of all sizes to make their preferred message formats widely available to current and potential trading partners.

It is anticipated that fully functional global repositories will evolve in phases:

Phase 1 Limited Intranet implementation, proof of concept, with manual Web interface.

[4.5. Summary and Outlook]

The Fundamental B2B Problem so far has been the lack of shared semantics. The main challenge in using XML is not with document structure and syntax, but with semantics. It is much easier to share syntax than to share semantics. Each application domain needs to have both specific document structure and agreed-upon semantics to make effective use of XML-defined documents. Various vertical industry segments have to agree on the meaning of their domain-specific XML tags. Only then can the appropriate action be taken upon parsing: translating components into internal business objects for use within the enterprise.

[5.2.1 Static Methods]

Accounting Rate of Return: The ARR is the average after tax profit divided by the initial cash outlay. It is very similar to the Return on Assets, or the return on investment. Copeland and Weston (1999: 28) do not regard the ARR as an appropriate capital budgeting technique as it uses accounting profits instead of cash flows and it does not consider the time value of money.

Pay-Off-Method (Pay Back Method): The payback period is the number of years it takes to recover the initial outlay. [...] If management were adhering strictly to the project, it would choose the project with the shortest payback period. The difficulty of the payback method is that it does not consider all cash flows and it fails to discount them. Copeland and Weston (1992: 26-28) reject the Payback Method because it violates three of four properties that are desirable in capital budgeting techniques as stated above (1,2 and 3).

[5.2.2 Dynamic]

Internal Rate of Return (IRR): The IRR on a project is defined as that rate, which equates the present value of the cash outflows and inflows, i.e. where the NPV is zero. Hence this is the rate of return on invested capital that the project is returning to the firm. If the IRR criterion is used and the projects are independent, any project that has an IRR greater than the opportunity cost of capital will be accepted. According to Copeland and Weston (1992: 36) the IRR rule errs in several ways. First, it does not obey the value additivity principle, and consequently managers who use the IRR cannot consider projects independently of each other. Second, the IRR rule assumes that funds invested in projects have opportunity costs equal to the IRR of the projects. This implicit reinvestment rate assumption violates the requirement that cash flows be discount at the market determined opportunity cost of capital. Finally, the IRR rule can lead to multiple rates of return whenever the sign of cash flow changes more than once.


Copeland, T.E. & Weston, J.F. 1988 [sic], Financial Theory and Corporate Policy, 3rd ed., Addison-Wesley, Reading, Massachusetts.

1. The Payback Method

The payback period for a project is simply the number of years it takes to recover the initial cash outlay on a project.

[...]

If management were adhering strictly to the payback method, it would choose project A, which has the shortest payback period. [...] The difficulty with the payback method is that it does not consider all cash flows and it fails to discount them.

[page 28]

We reject the payback method because it violates (at least) the first two of the four properties that are desirable in capital budgeting techniques.8

2. The Accounting Rate of Return

The accounting rate of return (ARR) is the average after-tax profit divided by the initial cash outlay. It is very similar to (and in some uses exactly the same as) the return on assets (ROA) or the return on investment (ROI), and they suffer from the same deficiencies.

[...]

The problem with the ARR is that it uses accounting profits instead of cash flows and it does not consider the time value of money.

[page 29]

4. Internal Rate of Return

The internal rate of return (IRR) on a project is defined as that rate which equates the present value of the cash outflows and inflows. In other words, it is the rate that makes the computed NPV exactly zero. Hence this is the rate of return on invested capital that the project is returning to the firm.

If we use the IRR criterion and the projects are independent, we accept any project that has an IRR greater than the opportunity cost of capital, which is 10%.

[page 36]

The IRR rule errs in several ways. First, it does not obey the value-additivity principle, and consequently managers who use the IRR cannot consider projects, independently of each other. Second, the IRR rule assumes that funds invested in projects have opportunity costs equal to the IRR for the project. This implicit reinvestment rate assumption violates the requirement that cash (lows be discounted at the market-determined opportunity cost of capital. Finally, the IRR rule can lead to multiple rates of return whenever the sign of cash flows changes more than once.

5.3.1 Decision Tree Analysis

A decision tree is a graphical extension of the Expected Value (EV) concept. [To calculate the expected value of a certain scenario, the values of the endpoints (possible scenario) are simply multiplied by the probabilities of reaching these endpoints. To consider the time value of money the value of each endpoint are discounted back to the present.] One of its strengths is that the tree diagram clarifies the decision problem with a visual approach. The diagram clearly shows all important decision elements, including contingencies (outcomes of chance events); decisions and alternatives, the logical sequence of decision points and chance events. One can often solve decision trees by hand, and the method is helpful at providing insights, especially related to the value of additional information and additional control. Branch and outcome values must be value measures (Present Value works, but, for example, internal rate of return (IRR) does not), and probabilities must be assessed or calculated for all chance event outcomes. One of the weaknesses of decision tree analysis is that one must represent all possibilities by a finite number of paths through the tree. This limits the practical number of random variables that can be accommodated, and one must use discrete distributions as approximations to continuous probability functions. Thus, range extremes are not represented. Other weaknesses of this approach include the fact that the analyst must limit the representation of uncertain time-spread events, such as for prices and inflation, to a few scenarios. Also, in [tree diagrams an output probability distribution (risk profile curve) is usually not obtained, only the EV.]

1. Decision Tree Analysis—A decision tree is a graphical extension of the EV concept. Working from right to left, EV is back-calculated by:

  • Replacing chance nodes with their EV’s,
    EV = Σ xi p(xi)
    where
    xi is value (ie, PV) for outcome i, and
    p(xi) is the probability function for xi.
  • Replacing decision nodes with the EV of the best (highest EV) alternative.

[5.5.2 The Formula]

The formula for pricing European call options1, c, on financial assets developed by Black and Scholes (1973) has been described as a function of five parameters: The price of the underlying asset, S; the instantaneous variance of the assets returns, σ2 ; the exercise price, X; the time to expiration, t; and the risk-free rate, rf.

c = f (S, X, rf, t, σ2)



1 European options can only be exercised upon their maturity, as opposed to American options, which can be exercised at any date up to maturity.

F. SOME DOMINANCE THEOREMS THAT BOUND THE VALUE OF A CALL OPTION

The value of a call option has been described as a function of five parameters: the price of the underlying asset, S; the instantaneous variance of the asset returns, σ2; the exercise price, X; the time to expiration; T; and the risk-free rate, rf:

c = f(S, σ2, X, T, rf). (8.1)

[page 241]

B. A DESCRIPTION OF THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT PRICES OF EUROPEAN OPTIONS

To keep the theory simple for the time being, we assume that all options can be exercised only on their maturity date and that there are no cash payments (such as dividends) made by the underlying asset. Options of this type are called European options. They are considerably easier to price than their American option counterparts, which can be exercised at any date up to maturity.

The exact Black and Scholes (1973) formula is expressed below:
c = Present Value of a call option = SN (d1) – Xe-rft N(d2)
where:
d1 = [log (S/X) + rf t + σ2t/2] * 1/σ√t
d2 = [log (S/X) + rf t - σ2t/2] * 1/σ√t
N(d)...cumulative normal probability density function

N(d) is the probability that a normally distributed random variable will be less than or equal to d.

Black and Scholes show that there is only one call price formula that meets that requirement. This unpleasant-looking formula is:


Present value of call option = PN(d1) — EXe-rftN(d2)

where

N(d) = cumulative normal probability density function15

EX = exercise price of option

t = time to exercise date


15 That is, N(d) is the probability that a normally distributed random variable will be less than or equal to d.

[Step 1: Calculating Cumulative Volatility]

When deferring an investment decision, the asset value may change and affect the investment decision for the better while waiting. That possibility is very important, but naturally it is difficult to quantify because of the uncertainty as to how the future asset values will change. The most common probability-weighted measure of dispersion is variance σ2. Variance is a summary measure of the likelihood of a random value far away from the average value. The higher the variance, the more likely it is that the values of an investment project will be either much higher or much lower than average.

How much things can change while one waits, also depends on how long one can afford to wait. For business projects, things can change a lot more waiting two years than if waiting only two months. Thus the measure of the total amount of uncertainty is variance per period σ2 times the number of periods t. This is referred to as cumulative variance.

Cumulative Variance = Variance per period x number of periods = σ2 t

For mathematical convenience, instead of using the variance of project values, Luehrman (1998) suggests to use the variance of project returns, in other words to work with the percentage gained or lost per year. There is no loss of content because a project's return is completely determined by the project's value:

Return = (Future Value minus Present Value) over Present Value

The reason for doing this is that the probability distribution of possible values is usually quite asymmetric; value can increase greatly but cannot drop below zero. Returns, in contrast, can be positive or negative, sometimes symmetrically positive or negative, which makes their probability distribution easier to work with.

Second, it helps to express uncertainty in terms of standard deviation σ, rather than variance σ2. Standard deviation, which is simply the square root of variance, expresses just as much about uncertainty as variance does, but it has the advantage of being denominated in the same units as the investment project being measured.


Luehrman, T.A. 1998, “Investment opportunities as real options: Getting started on the numbers”, Harvard Business Review, vol. 76, no. 4, pp. 51 - 55

Quantifying Extra Value: Cumulative Volatility.

Now let’s move on to the second source of additional value, namely that while we’re waiting, asset value may change and affect our investment decision for the better. That possibility is very important, but naturally it is more difficult to quantify because we are not actually sure that asset values will change or, if they do, what the future values will be.

[...]

The most common probability-weighted measure of dispersion is variance, often denoted as sigma squared2 ). Variance is a summary measure of the likelihood of drawing a value far away from the average value in the urn. The higher the variance, the more likely it is that the values drawn will be either much higher or much lower than average. [...]

We have to worry about a time dimension as well: how much things can change while we wait depends on how long we can afford to wait. For business projects, things can change a lot more if we wait two years than if we wait only two months. So in option valuation, we speak in terms of variance per period. Then our measure of the total amount of uncertainty is variance per period times the number of periods, or σ 2 t.

This sometimes is called cumulative variance. An option expiring in two years has twice the cumulative variance as an otherwise identical option expiring in one year, given the same variance per period. Alternatively, it may help to think of cumulative variance as the amount of variance in the urn times the number of draws you are allowed, which again is σ 2 t. [...]

First, instead of using the variance of project values, we’ll use the variance of project returns. In other words, rather than working with the actual dollar value of the project, we’ll work with the percentage gained (or lost) per year. There is no loss of content because a project’s return is completely determined by the project’s value:

The probability distribution of possible values is usually quite asymmetric; value can increase greatly but cannot drop below zero. Returns, in contrast, can be positive or negative, sometimes symmetrically positive or negative, which makes their probability distribution easier to work with.

Second, it helps to express uncertainty in terms of standard deviation rather than variance. Standard deviation is simply the square root of variance and is denoted by o . It tells us just as much about uncertainty as variance does, but it has the advantage of being denominated in the same units as the thing being measured.

Getting the cash flow projections right (or even close) is staggeringly difficult. But it is even trickier to choose the correct discount rate. Conceptually, that rate is the opportunity cost of not investing in another project of similar systematic risk1. So the higher a project's risk, the higher its discount rate and the lower its NPV. The CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) often spits out negative NPVs for many of the most exciting strategic opportunities.

The main reason for this shortcoming is that the model can use only information that is already known. For highly strategic investments that information is typically not much, and the resulting uncertainty tends to be reflected in an excessive discount rate. Combining an NPV calculation with decision trees (which assign numerical probabilities to various possible outcomes) may help, but not much. For each branch of the tree, the analyst still has to pick and apply an appropriate discount rate, and that of course was the problem in the first place. More fundamentally, the flaw in the CAPM is that it implicitly assumes that when firms buy new assets, they hold these passively for the life of the project. But they do not. Instead, they employ managers precisely in order to react to events as they unfold. Obviously, this managerial flexibility must be worth something.

As with financial options, the longer the option lasts before it expires and the more volatile the price of the underlying asset the more the option is worth. This is in sharp contrast to the NPV, which deals harshly with both long time horizons and uncertainty.

Instead, they employ managers precisely in order to react to events as they unfold. Obviously, this managerial flexibility must be worth something.

[...]

[…] As with financial options, the longer the option lasts before it expires and the more volatile the price of the underlying asset — in this case, oil — the more the option is worth. This is in sharp contrast to the CAPM, which deals harshly with both long time horizons and uncertainty.

Options Pricing Models are too complex to be worthwhile for minor decisions. And they are not useful for projects that require a full commitment right away, since the value of an option lies in the ability to spend a little now and decide later whether to forge ahead.

In general, a widespread adoption of a new technology like XML, even when it has obvious advantages, often takes a very long time. There is a wide gap in many fields, between what is known and what is actually put in use. According to Rogers (1983) technological innovations require a lengthy period, often of some years, from the time they become available, to the time where they are widely adopted, because they create uncertainty in the minds of potential adopters about the expected consequences.

Rogers, E.M. 1983, Diffusion of Innovations, 3rd ed., Collier Macmillan, London.

ONE REASON WHY THERE IS SO MUCH INTEREST in the diffusion of innovations is because getting a new idea adopted, even when it has obvious advantages, is often very difficult. There is a wide gap in many fields, between what is known and what is actually put into use. Many innovations require a lengthy period, often of some years, from the time when they become available to the time when they are widely adopted.

[page 13]

So a technological innovation creates one kind of uncertainty in the minds of potential adopters (about its expected consequences), as well as representing an opportunity for reduced uncertainty in another sense (that of the information base of the technology).

This paper is based on the assumption that every company today facing the XML/EDI investment decision is the holder of an American deferral option on a dividend-paying asset. The asset underlying this option is the potential stream of revenues from an investment opportunity that will materialize only when a company decides to invest in an XML/EDI project at any given future date, where the dividends are the revenues lost during deferral time. Yankee possessed an American deferral option on a dividend paying asset. The asset underlying this option is the potential stream of revenues from an investment opportunity that will materialize only once Yankee enters the POS debit market any time starting in 1987, where the dividends are the revenues lost during the time Yankee deferred entry into this market.

[A firm could passively observe the standard evolving and being applied] in the industry, and could actively try to lower the risk of expected revenues by preparing for an XML/EDI investment project at a future time.

This deferral option is obtained at no direct cost. Dixit and Pindyck (1994) believe that a company could obtain a deferral option at no cost if it faces no credible competitive threat of loosing the deferred investment opportunity. In the case of monopoly the only cost of deferring is the opportunity cost of delaying the entry. In cases other than monopoly, things are somewhat different. Full benefits of the option, exists for the market leader among two or more competitors. In the case of no market leader, all firms have the option, but only the first mover will enjoy full benefits. [Benaroch and Kauffman (1999) believe that this is the case for duopoly, I would rather extend it to any market structure other than monopoly.]

Yankee could passively observe how the POS debit business evolved in other parts of the country and it could actively try to lower the risk of expected revenues (e.g., lobby for a change in Massachusetts' law).

[page 209, right col., 39 ff.]

Unlike a financial option that is purchased for a cash fee, Yankee obtained its deferral option at no direct cost. Generally, a firm can obtain a deferral option at no cost if it faces no credible competitive threat of losing the deferred investment opportunity (Dixit and Pindyck 1994). This is clearly true in the case of a monopoly. In case of a duopoly, the option exists for the "leader" among two competitors who made

[page 210, left col., 3 ff., 15 ff.]

indirect investments in building up, over time, managerial competencies, reputation, IT infrastructure, etc.; if there is no clear leader, both firms may have the option, but only the first mover would enjoy its full benefits. [...] Hence, as far as project valuation decision-making is concerned, Yankee's only option cost was the opportunity cost of delaying entry-the revenues lost during the deferral period-and a negligible opportunity cost borne by the slim risk of losing the investment opportunity to NYCE (which, counter to expectations, might act earlier than expected).

Data required for option pricing models is difficult to estimate. This especially applies to the estimation of the variance in the expected return of an IT investment. In the case of a financial option, the variance is the variability of the underlying stock, which the option trader can obtain by option valuation. From a practical standpoint the data required for options pricing models are just as difficult to develop as for an NPV analysis. You have to estimate the variance in the expected return on the IT investment. In the case of an options trader, the variance is the variability of the underlying stock. The options specialist obtains this information from a firm that clears trades; this firm calculates several measures of variance, or volatility, as it is known in options valuation.

Ucomp = hedonic value of IT

Office automation tools embody two kinds of benefits: (1) increased efficiency and (2) increased effectiveness. Increased efficiency is referred to shorter time needed to accomplish a given task, or allow more of a given task to be done in the same amount of time. Increased effectiveness results from increased efficiency, which allows restructuring of work. Managers and professionals can spend more time performing activities reflected in their titles and time rather that to support, clerical and non-productive (lower-productive) activities.

Quantifying this shift in working profiles uses a two-part procedure. First, a method called the Work Profile Analysis identifies the working profiles of the employees affected by the introduction of a new technology. The results thereof are then build into a computer simulation called the Hedonic Wage Model, which is basically a set of multiple linear equations.

The whole model is based on the assumption, that jobs are not monolithic but have identifiable components with different implicit values.

Office automation tools embody two kinds of benefits: the first is that they shorten the time needed to accomplish a given task, or allow more of a given task to be done in the same amount of time.

[Furthermore it is assumed that workers are worth what they cost in company: salaries, fringe] benefits and direct overheads. Their worth can be thought of as the weighted values of their activities that they perform. The weights are the percentages in the Work Profile Matrix. The values of the initial activities are unknown, but are determined through the hedonic wage model. By using the hedonic model to explain the value of the job in terms of the amounts of each component the job entails, interferences about the implicit values of each component can be drawn (Sassone and Schwartz 1986:84).

In cases where a new IT Systems (in particular an XML investment) may induce changes in the composition of a job or work profile, the hedonic values can be used to place a monetary value on that change (Ucomp), and hence on the information system itself.

First, an assumption: we assume that workers are worth what they cost the company in wages, salaries, benefits, and overhead. Their worth can be thought of as the weighted values of the activites that they perform. The weights are the percentages in the Work Profile Matrix, illustrated in Fig. 3. The values of the activities are initially unknown, but are determined through the Hedonic Wage Model.

[page 86]

By using the hedonic model to explain the value of the job (salary plus fringe benefits plus direct overhead) in terms of the amounts of each component the job entails, we can draw inferences about the implicit value of each component. Since office information systems permit changes in the composition of a job or work profile, expressed in percent, the implicit, or hedonic, values can be used to place a dollar value on that change, and hence on the information system itself.

[6.3.1 Determining Diffusion]

According to Rogers (1983:3) “the diffusion of an innovation is a process, in which the innovation spreads through certain channels in the social system (target population) in time. The diffusion (of a new technology) is the evolutionary process [of replacement of an old technology for solving similar problems or accomplishing similar objectives.”]

1 INTRODUCTION

The diffusion of an innovation is a process, in which the innovation spreads through certain channels in the social system (target population) in time (Rogers 1983, p.5). According to Ayres (1969, p. xii) diffusion (of a new technology) is the evolutionary process of replacement of an old technology by a newer one for solving similar problems or accomplishing similar objectives.

Rogers (1962) classifies adopters of innovation into 5 categories: (1) Innovators are hazardous, rash, daring, and risky. (2) Early Adopters have the role of decreasing uncertainty about an innovation. (3) Early Majority adopts new ideas just before the average member of the social system. They follow with deliberate willingness in adopting innovations, but seldom lead. (4) Late majority adopt new ideas just after the average member of a social system. [...] Innovations are approached with a skeptical and cautious air. Their relatively scarce resources mean that almost all of the uncertainty about a new idea must be removed before the late majority feels that it is safe to adopt. (5) Laggards are the last in the social system to adopt an innovation.

Bass (1969) developed a growth model for the timing of initial purchase of new products and empirically tested it against data of eleven consumer durables. The basic assumption of his model is that the probability of purchase at any time is related linearly to the number of previous buyers. The model implies exponential growth of initial purchases to a peak and then exponential decay. Innovative and imitative behavior is the underlying behavioral rationale for the model. According to Bass Innovators are individuals who decide to adopt an innovation independently of the decision of other individuals in a social system.

[page 215, Abstract]
A growth model for the timing of initial purchase of new products is developed and tested empirically against data for eleven consumer durables. The basic assumption of the model is that the timing of a consumer’s initial purchase is related to the number of previous buyers. A behavioral rationale for the model is offered in terms of innovative and imitative behavior. [...]

[page 216]

Some individuals decide to adopt an innovation independently of the decisions of other individuals in a social system.

[page 226]

Conclusion

The growth model developed in this paper for the timing of initial purchase of new products is based upon an assumption that the probability of purchase at any time is related linearly to the number of previous buyers. There is a behavioral rationale for this assumption. The model implies exponential growth of initial purchases to a peak and then exponential decay.

[6.3.3 Parameters that Influence Diffusion

Mansfields (1961) model builds largely around one hypothesis – “that the probability that a firm will introduce a new technique is an increasing function of the proportion of firms already using it and the profitability of doing so, but a decreasing function of the size of investment required” (1961: 762-763).] His studies showed that the rate of imitation tended to be faster for innovations that were more profitable and that required relatively small investments. Several other factors showed very low statistical significance: There was some apparent tendency for the rate of imitation to be higher when the innovation did not replace very durable equipment, and when the firms’ output was growing rapidly, and when the innovation was introduced in the more recent past.


Mansfield, E. 1961, “Technical Change and the Rate of Imitation”, Econometrica, vol. 29, no. 4, pp. 741-765.

As expected, the rate of imitation tended to be faster for innovations that were more profitable and that required relatively small investments. [...]

[...] When several other factors are included in the model, the empirical results are largely inconclusive. There was some apparent tendency for the rate of imitation to be higher when the innovation did not replace very durable equipment, when the firms’ output was growing rapidly, and when the innovation was introduced in the more recent past.

Rogers (1962) explains the different rates of adoption by introducing 5 characteristics of Innovation: (1) Relative advantage: is the degree to which an innovation is perceived as better than the idea it supersedes. (as opposed to objective advantage) (the greater strategic advantage the faster it will be adopted); (2) Compatibility: is the degree to which an innovation is perceived as being consistent with the existing values, past experiences, and needs of potential adopters. (if not compatible, not adopted as fast); (3) Complexity: is the degree to which an innovation is perceived as difficult to understand and use. ( the simpler the faster the adoption); (4) Triability: is the degree to which an innovation may be experimented with on a limited basis (triability-> less uncertainty -> faster adoption); (5) Observability: is the degree to which the result of an innovation are visible to others ( the more visible, the more likely that they will adopt.

[page 15]

1. Relative advantage is the degree to which an innovation is perceived as better than the idea it supersedes. [...] It does not matter so much whether an innovation has a great deal of “objective” advantage. [...] The greater the perceived relative advantage of an innovation, the more rapid its rate of adoption is going to be.

2. Compatibility is the degree to which an innovation is perceived as being consistent with the existing values, past experiences, and needs of potential adopters. An idea that is not compatible with the prevalent values and norms of a social system will not be adopted as rapidly as an innovation that is compatible. [...]

3. Complexity is the degree to which an innovation is perceived as difficult to understand and use. [...] In general, new ideas that are simpler to understand will be adopted more rapidly [...]

4. Trialability is the degree to which an innovation may be experimented with on a limited basis. [...] An innovation that is trialable represents less uncertainty [...]

[page 16]

5. Observability is the degree to which the results of an innovation are visible to others. The easier it is for individuals to see the results of an innovation, the more likely they are to adopt.

Anmerkungen

Svr includes two versions of Rogers' book, the first and the third edition, in the reference section. On this page the source is given as the first edition, however the text is quite close to the definitions given in the improved and extended third edition.

The definitions from the first edition are as follows:

Rogers (1962):

[page 124] Relative advantage is the degree to which an innovation is superior to ideas it supersedes.
[page 126] Compatibility is the degree to which an innovation is consistent with existing values and past experiences of the adopt-[ors.]
[page 130] Complexity is the degree to which an innovation is relatively difficult to understand and use.
[page 131] Divisibility is the degree to which an innovation may be tried on a limited basis.
[page 132] Communicability is the degree to which the results of an innovation may be diffused to others.

Still, since the author is named although the wrong edition is noted, this fragment will be classified as a pawn sacrifice.

These results are based on a previous paper, Reinganum (1981a), where she assumes that firms are operating at Nash Equilibrium1 output levels, generating a market price and profit allocations. When a cost-reducing innovation is announced, each firm must determine when (if ever) to adopt it, based in part upon the behavior of the rival firm. If either firm adopts before the other, it can expect to make substantial profits on the expense of the other firm. On the other hand the discounted sum of purchase price and adjustment costs may decline with the lengthening of the adjustment period as various quasi-fixed factors become more easily variable. Reinganum analyzes the case of identical firms, and non-identical firms. She shows that there exist two asymmetric1 Nash equilibria in pure strategies. In both cases, at Nash equilibrium, one firm will adopt the innovation at [a relatively early date, the other relatively later.]

1 A Nash equilibrium is a situation in which each firm is doing the best it can given the behaviour of its rivals (applied to Oligopoly and Duoploy situations, where interdependece of market price and output levels between market players is big).

Nash equilibrium output levels, generating a market price (given demand) and profit allocations. When a cost-reducing innovation is announced, each firm must determine when (if ever) to adopt it, based in part upon the discounted cost of implementing the new technology, and in part upon the behavior of the rival firm. If either firm adopts before the other, it can expect to make substantial profits at the expense of the other firm. On the other hand, the discounted sum of purchase price and adjustment costs may decline with the lengthening of the adjustment period as various quasi-fixed factors become more easily variable. [...] In Section 3 it is shown that there exist two asymmetric Nash equilibria in pure strategies. That is, at a Nash equilibrium, one firm will adopt the innovation at a relatively early date, the other relatively later. Thus even in the case of identical firms and complete certainty, there is a "diffusion" of innovation over time.

Quirmbach (1986) shows that the diffusion of capital embodies process innovation results from a pattern of decreasing incremental benefits and decreasing adoption costs for later adoptions. He develops a method for comparing diffusion rates for different market structures in the capital equipment market. [...] For all market structures compared, he establishes that if the incremental benefits resulting from the kth adoption are larger under market structure A than under market structure B, then the kth adoption will occur sooner under A than under B. [...] In his studies he concludes that market power makes a difference in diffusion rates, and on which side of the market that power lies makes a considerable difference. Adapting the model of Reinganum (1981a, b) he concludes that contrary to Reinganums assumption, strategic behavior is inessential to the result of a diffusion process. Solely the patterns of incremental benefits and adoption costs are the key to the difference in diffusion rates. [...]

The explanation for the paradox between Reinganum and Quirmbachs findings is that Reinganum analyzes increases in structural concentration in the user industry while continuing to assume non-cooperative behavior of the market players, whereas Quirmbach analyzes collusive conduct of market players. Reinganum studies the increases in market share of each firm and thus the profits to a given firm’s adoption. Quirmbach (1986) criticizes that she fails to internalize the negative externalities that new adoptions visit on existing investments.

[page 33, abstract]

This article shows that the diffusion of a capital-embodied process innovation results from a pattern of decreasing incremental benefits and adoption costs for later adoptions. Strategic behavior is inessential to this finding. We develop a method for comparing diffusion rates for different market structures in the capital equipment market. [...] Market power thus makes a difference in diffusion rates, and on which side of the market that power lies makes a considerable difference.

[...]

Adapting the model of Reinganum (1981a, 1981b), we first examine the factors that cause the diffusion of a capital-embodied, cost-reducing innovation.

[page 34]

Our results indicate that, to the contrary, strategic behavior is inessential to the result; the patterns of incremental benefits and adoption costs are the key, with or without strategic behavior.2

[...] First we establish that, for all structures compared, if the incremental benefits resulting from the kth adoption are larger under market structure A than under market structure B, then the kth adoption will occur sooner under A than under B.

[...]

In contrast, Reinganum (1981b) finds that greater concentration in the user industry increases the diffusion rate, the reverse of the buyer-side market power effect. The explanation for this paradox lies in distinguishing between structural concentration and collusive conduct. Reinganum analyzes increases in structural concentration in the user industry while continuing to assume noncooperative behavior. This increases the market share of each firm—and thus the profits to a given firm's adoption—but fails to internalize the negative externalities that new adoptions visit on existing investments.


2 Note that it is only Reinganum's interpretation and not her results themselves that are at issue.

Underlying assumption of this diffusion matrix is that adoption costs of XML/EDI are assumed to be falling over time. Diffusion is assumed to be sequential rather than simultaneous. There are two reasons for this assumption. Potential users of a new technology may differ in a way that the expected returns from adoption are different due to firm size, market share, R&D expenditure, etc. Differences in prior believes [sic] about the ‘true’ profitability of a new technology [may result in different expected benefits from adoption and therefore in distinct adoption dates.] Adoption costs are assumed to be falling over time.

Internal entities can include references to other internal entities, but it is an error for them to be recursive.

[...]

External entities allow an XML document to refer to an external file. External entities contain either text or binary data. If they contain text, the content of the external file is inserted at the point of reference and parsed as part of the referring document. Binary data is not parsed and may only be referenced in an attribute. Binary data is used to reference figures and other non-XML content in the document.

[...]

In this case, the XML processor will parse the content of that file as if its content had been typed at the location of the entity reference.

The entity is also an external entity, but its content is binary. The LOGO entity can only be used as the value of an ENTITY (or ENTITIES) attribute (on a graphic element, perhaps). The XML processor will pass this information along to an [application, but it does not attempt to process the content of /standard/logo.gif.]
